Shivamogga police file suo motu case against right-wing leader Puthila for provocative remarks
Shivamogga: Shivamogga Rural Police have filed a suo motu case against Sangh Parivar leader Arun Kumar Puthila for making a provocative statement at Ragigudda, in direct violation of the prohibitory orders enforced by the police in the town.
Puthila, a prominent right-wing leader, visited the areas affected by a recent stone-pelting incident in Ragigudda. During a media interaction, he asserted, "The violence was caused by people belonging to the Muslim community. The people of the Hindu community are ready and daring enough to use the weapons they have, in defense of themselves, if necessary."
In his speech, Puthila urged Hindus to prepare to respond firmly to any provocation. He stated, "We worship weapons on the day of Navaratri during the Dasara festival. Every Hindu should worship swords rather than only instruments like screwdrivers and spanners at home."
These remarks were made despite the presence of prohibitory orders issued by the police in the town. Such orders are issued to maintain law and order and restrict public gatherings during sensitive situations.
The Shivamogga Rural Police took cognizance of Puthila's statements and registered a case against him for violating the prohibitory orders and potentially inciting communal tensions.
